Mandatory E-Verify AND Prosecution of Criminal Employers Key to Ending Illegal Immigration
The recent raids against seven chicken plants in Mississippi by ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) demonstrate two things.

Opportunity Cost: Pricing Americans Out of the Market for Educational Opportunity
It is in America's best interest to share its impressive education system with international students, but not at the expense of our own citizens. There is something seriously wrong with our immigration policies when we have created a higher education framework where so many schools, especially small private ones, cannot survive without depending on financing from foreign students -- or where schools decide that making greater profits from admitting foreign students is worth displacing American ones.

Democratic voters say make all businesses use E-Verify
Will candidates agree with the Party's voters that immigration laws should favor recruiting -- and pay raises for -- American workers?
You wouldn't sense it from the candidates in the Democratic debates thus far, but most Democratic voters want the government to stop illegal migration.

We regard all U.S. citizens -- foreign-born & natives -- the same. THIS is home.
Shouts such as "concentration camps" and "holocaust" from one side and "send her back" on another side make it impossible to have the civil conversation that a public policy like immigration must have if practical and just solutions are to be adopted.
I urge all who seek a restored order at the border and a reduction in immigration numbers to avoid even a hint of nativism in response to the challenges at hand.

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.R. 1044, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, 365-to-65.

Grading Congress on protecting our INDEPENDENCE from coerced congestion
If you are finding your Fourth of July weekend diminished by over-packed highways, over-crowded parks, and ill-maintained infrastructures unable to keep up with the people growth, blame the Members of Congress. It is their immigration policies that bear the No. 1 responsibility.
Since the year 2000, nearly 50 million people have been added to our sprawling cities. And Congress' immigration policies caused most of it, according to Pew Research.

The Supreme Court found that asking about citizenship on the census was constitutional and has a long historical precedent. It also ruled that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' decision to include that question was "reasonable and reasonably explained." However, the Court blocked the question from being included on the 2020 census.
